Amazon Series Based on A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN Now in Development

According to Variety, Amazon's television division is currently developing a series based on the World War 2 sports film "A League of Their Own."

According to the report, the series penned by Mozart in the Jungle's Will Graham and BROAD CITY comic, Abbi Jacobson, will be a modern take on the story of the Rockford Peaches, one of the teams that made up the first season of the 1943 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

The series is said not to be a close adaptation of the hit 1992 film and is not expected to feature characters from the movie.

Directed by Penny Marshall, A League of Their Own was a hit 1992 sports drama starring Geena Davis, Rosie O'Donnell. Madonna, and Tom Hanks.
